"Demetrius Unbound": Farcical Sequel to Shakespeare's "Midsummer"

In "A Midsummer Night's Dream", Shakespeare leaves young Athenian lover Demetrius drugged and duped, married to the woman he didn't truly want to marry. Actor-playwright Soren Oliver's "Demetrius Unbound (or the Homeric Midlife Crisis)" is a farcical sequel to "Midsummer", in which Demetrius later questions the choices of his youth, wrestles with the facts of his present and prays for divine intervention. See the follow-up to this iconic lover's fate -- bewitched, bewildered and betrothed as he's been -- when this epilogue to the timeless comedy hits the stage at Berkeley's Live Oak Theatre.
